A Guide to Building Your Smallest Muscle

Everyone has that one area on their body where they wish it looked better, bigger, or more “toned”.

Whether it’s bigger arms, a rounder butt, or even seeing their abs. Our minds always go to where we are weakest and/or what we lack.

This is because it’s easier to see the negative in our lives, compared to the positive.

When working out, trying to fix these problems, there is a best route in growing our weak points but we first have to do one thing:

Be Honest With Ourselves

Taking a good look at ourselves in the mirror and asking us what is one specific area on our bodies that we’d like to spend the next 12 weeks growing.

It’s easy to name off 5-10 different options, but being specific and honest by choosing one area is necessary.

This is because we can only really prioritize 1-3 muscle groups.

But for right now, choose 1 muscle group that you would like to see the most progress in, and then proceed to step two.

How to Program a Solution

I will explain programming weak points as if I don’t know what type of workout split you are doing.

We could dive into deep things like frequency and weekly net volume but honestly, you can prioritize with any split out there.

PUT THE MUSCLE FIRST IN THE WORKOUT

That is the easiest and best solution out there.

This is because whatever you do first in the workout, will get the best stimulus.

We gather fatigue as we continue during the workout and this will effect the output of our exercises that are farther into the workout.

So if I wanted to grow my shoulders, I would put a shoulder press as my first exercise in my workout.

I wouldn’t do more volume, I would just reorganize my workout to put shoulder exercises first, and then have the rest of what I want to hit that day.

Consistency is Our Guide

I wanna share to you one of the videos that I posted recently about consistency.

It’s a reminder that consistency and sticking through the boring workouts will lead to the best outcomes.
